 * Hallo,
 * I’m new at WordPress and just installed a theme. Played around a bit with it 
   and now I am encountering a probleem.
    The text is not visible. Is it possible
   to put a semi transparent white background behind this text? So that you can 
   still see the image behind it? _[ redundant link removed ]_
 * Hope you can help me!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftext-not-visible-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 *     ```
       div#main {
           background: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
           padding: 1em;
       }
       ```
   
 * **To add CSS:** use the “Additional CSS” option in the customizer. _[https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#Custom\_CSS\_in\_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#Custom_CSS_in_WordPress)_
 * Learn to use the [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/)
   to help you see and test changes to your CSS.
 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/satisfy#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/satisfy#new-post)
   so the plugin’s / theme’s developers and support community can help you with 
   this.
